3. 1 month of continuous paycheck stubs (within the last two months) if any employment.
4. Statement of household income which includes legal spouse and dependents only

6. The names, dosages and frequency of all medications you take.

What if I can't speak English?
English is the common language spoken at Matthew 25 Health & Dental Clinic. Because medical/dental history is taken, prescribed medications carefully explained, and critical directions regarding healthcare given–all in English, the patient must be able to understand what doctors, nurses and assistants are saying.

For that reason, the patient needs to provide some adult that can translate for them if they cannot speak English. While some translators are occasionally available at the clinic, there are many times when no one at the clinic is present to translate.

If no translator is present, doctors / dentists may not provide services to the patient.
